TE —Tim Broekema TION wo tort SUCCESS... Western wasn't the only place that enjoyed some successes this year. The state scored a large financial success after Gov. Martha Layne Collins persuaded the Toyota company to build their new auto plant in Scott County near Lexing- ton. It was expected to be a large supplier of jobs, as well as helping at- tract other businesses to Kentucky. As for the see Bowling Green area, the Corvette Plant sales expanded after business slowed in expectation of the new line of con- vertibles. Corvette was nationally rated as the one of the best sportscars in the world. And business was expanded as planners developed a new mall and pos- sibly a galleria. Bowling Green enjoyed state-wide at- tention as it hosted the Sweet Sixteen Girls’ Basketball Tournament, which drew a large crowd of fans to Western. AS THE SUN begins to set, a horse trots across the field at the university farm. The Agriculture Exposition Center, located on the 900-acre farm, was the site of horse shows and rodeos. BETH WILLIAMS, a Henderson sophomore, Janet Cleckner, a Nashville junior, and Karla Weiss, a Glasgow sophomore, make a homecoming sign. The sign was welcoming alumnae to KD house. 1S Opening
